Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that reductions in electricity costs are passed on to consumers in park home communities.

Park homes residents who pay for their electricity via their site owner are protected from excessive charges by the Maximum Resale Price provisions drafted by Ofgem. The provisions prevent businesses from reselling energy to the residents at a higher price than the price that they paid to the licensed energy supplier.

Consumers are entitled to receive a breakdown of the costs incurred by the party that arranges your energy contract upon request. The breakdown should include details of the cost of electricity and/or gas, standing charges and VAT paid.

The measures taken in the Autumn Budget reduce the cost of electricity and therefore benefit all households with a domestic electricity meter, including those not on the gas grid – and the Chancellor and I are exploring ways to support eligible households on non-domestic contracts, like park homes, too.
